This fun, family-oriented event will raise funds for Hiawatha Schools building improvements.

Pre-race registration is open now; the cost is $20 per runner and $10 per additional family member. Race day registration is available and costs $25 per runner. Entry forms are available at www.friendsofhiawatha.webs.com, the Hiawatha C.U.S.D 426 website (Friends of Hiawatha tab), or connect on Facebook.

The 4K race (2.49 miles) will start and end at Hiawatha High School. Participants will enjoy the fast, flat course suitable for runners and walkers alike.
